Luiz Felipe Scolari has blamed two players for his dismissal at Chelsea in an exclusive interview with Green and Yellow Football.

The Brazilian tactician shed some light on his brief spell as the Chelsea manager between 2008 and 2009. Scolari was named the Blues boss in the summer of 2008 as a replacement for Israeli manager Avram Grant who had led the club to the 2008 Champions League final.

Grant and Chelsea ended the 2008 Champions League final on the losing side as Manchester United won their third title in the competition. The two English teams met during the 2008 Champions League final and it was the Red Devils who triumphed on penalties after the two clubs settled for a 1-1 draw after extra time.

Scolari told the aforementioned media platform that his form of leadership clashed with one or two players during his time at the club. When asked about the identity of the players he was talking about, the Brazilian manager mentioned Didier Drogbaand Nicolas Anelka.

According to him, Nicolas Anelka and Ivorian football legend Drogba caused him the most issues during his brief spell at Stamford Bridge. He went on to say that there was a bit of lack of respect and friendship on the part of Frenchman Nicolas Anelka.

During one of the team meetings under his watch at Chelsea, Anelka told Scolari that he can only play in one position. Anelka was not willing to play out of position as a specialised central striker. In the end, it was Scolari who paid with his job. He was unsuccessful in getting Drogba and Anelka to play effectively together. Results were affected and his dismissal followed.

Scolari also revealed that he was able to sort things out with Drogba after they met at the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia and that there the incidents from his Chelsea reign are now a thing of the past.

Former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has revealed that he is left surprised at how quickly the Blues have managed to adapt to the playing style of German manager Thomas Tuchel, while also admitting that he never thought they could have so much flexibility in their adaptability.

Chelsea are currently one of the best and hottest teams in the world and have also been touted as one of the teams to beat in the UEFA Champions League so far this season. They have not lost a single game under Tuchel since he took over from former manager Frank Lampard, and they have been tipped to end the season unbeaten if they can maintain their current form.

They recently secured their direct passage to the semi-finals of the Emirates FA Cup with a crucial 2-0 win over Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge over the weekend as they also further extended their unbeaten run in all competitions. While they have been drawn to face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the next round of the competition, Anelka believes that the Blues can defeat the Etihad club and end Guardiola’s dream of securing a quadruple this season.

Speaking after the win against Sheffield, Anelka said he has been watching Chelsea closely since the appointment of Tuchel and has been really impressed by their turnaround in results. The former striker said that he loves to see how much confidence Tuchel has planted in the players after the torrid season they were having under Lampard, adding that they can go all the way in the Champions League and FA Cup this season.

Anelka also said he would love to see the German manager end the season with silverware because it would give the players more confidence ahead of the new season.

Ex-French international striker Nicholas Anelkawas a hot prospect during his teenage years and big things were expected of him but he rarely lived up to that promise later in his career though it must be said that he played for some of the biggest clubs on the European football stage.

Arsenal fans would be forgiven if they penciled Nicholas Anelka as a future Ballon d’Or winner when he burst onto the Premier League scene as a teenager during the 1997/98 season. He had signed for the Gunners in 1997 shortly after he made his professional debut for French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint Germain (PSG) a year earlier. Arsenal paid £500,000 to sign him from PSG in February 1997, some months after the appointment of legendary manager Arsene Wenger. He didn’t break into the first team at Arsenal until the next season.
